SIMBAD now lists "Arcturus", not "ARCTURUS".
Change tests to reflect this.
0.035 2016-09-14 T. R. Wyant
Improve test for unavailable server
Default server attribute to environment variable
ASTRO_SIMBAD_CLIENT_SERVER if that has a true value.
Tests of the release() method are now TODO. What happened was that on
September 6 2016 the release information was omitted from the web
site. It is back on the 7th, but once bitten twice shy.
Have t/basic.t display SIMBAD server SW release
0.034 2016-01-05 T. R. Wyant
Add GitHub repository to metadata.
0.033 2014-10-25 T. R. Wyant
No changes since 0.032_01.
0.032_01 2014-10-18 T. R. Wyant
Remove installer question. The simbadc script is now installed by
default. If you do not want it, run the installer with the -n
option.
Restructure data retrieval code to facilitate debugging.
0.032 2014-06-12 T. R. Wyant
No changes since version 0.031_01.
0.031_01 2014-06-04 T. R. Wyant
Add attribute emulate_soap_queries. If true, this attribute causes the
query() method (and friends) to generate canned script queries
rather than SOAP queries. If we are not using SOAP, query() and
friends do not produce warnings.
Eliminate use of each() built-in.
Remove VO-format url_query test of MAIN_ID. A note from SIMBAD support
January 6 2014 says they do not support any way to change what is in
the MAIN_ID field in a url_query VO-format return. It _is_ supported
in the script queries.
0.031 2014-02-05 T. R. Wyant
Have installer scripts Build.PL and Makefile.PL notify of my intent to
remove the 'install simbadc?' question and simply install it by
default. The command-line options -y and -n will remain available.
This is schedued for the first release after September 1 2014.
Mark VO url query 'name' test TODO
This started failing Feb 3 (returning '* alf Boo' rather than 'NAME
Arcturus'). I found parameters that seem to influence the MAIN_iD
returned by the text query, but not the VO query. So the test has been
marked TODO, pending a response (if any) to the note I sent SIMBAD Feb 5
2014. Script-based queries seem unaffected.
0.030 2014-01-01 T. R. Wyant
Further deprecate the use of SOAP. The query() method (and methods
that use it) now warns on every use. These will become fatal the
first release after April 1 2014.
0.029 2013-11-18 T. R. Wyant
Fix test failures due to SIMBAD metadata changes
The VO-format url_query data has started returning keys 'RA_d' and
'DEC_d' for decimal right ascension and declination, rather than
'RA' and 'DEC'.
0.028 2013-11-08 T. R. Wyant
No changes since 0.027_01.
0.027_01 2013-10-28 T. R. Wyant
Deprecate the use of SOAP. This includes the query() method and all
methods that use it.
0.027 2013-07-28 T. R. Wyant
No substantive changes since 0.026_01.
0.026_01 2013-07-22 T. R. Wyant
Make use of the relevant FORMAT_* constants in t/simple.t and
t/yaml.t.
Make SOAP::Lite and XML::Parser optional. Especially the former.
Strip the literal newlines from the FORMAT_TXT_* canned formats.
Remove (well, rename) author test that fails when SOAP VO queries
start working, and remove TODO for SOAP in t/vo.t, on receiving
letter saying that the problem is fixed.
0.026 2012-10-30 T. R. Wyant
Methods query*() with 'type' attribute 'vo' (in other words, SOAP
VOTable queries) started failing October 24 2012. Since I think this
is a server-side problem (famous last words!) I have made the
relevant tests TODO and put a NOTICE in the Astro::SIMBAD::Client
POD.
Replace code that feels around for a working YAML module with code
that just uses YAML itself.
0.025 2012-01-05 T. R. Wyant
Bring Changes file into compliance with Test::CPAN::Changes, and add
xt/author/changes.t to make sure it stays that way.
0.024 2011-12-08 T. R. Wyant
Update copy of Gnu GPL in LICENSES/Copying to have current FSF
address.
0.023 2011-11-01 T. R. Wyant
No changes from 0.022_03, other than version.
0.022_03 2011-10-23 T. R. Wyant
Correct the t/yaml.t script so that the script_file( 't/arcturus.yaml' )
tests are skipped if neither YAML nor YAML::Syck can be loaded.
Add optional modules tests to the author tests, to be sure the above
is fixed, and stays that way.
Removed debug output from t/yaml.t
0.022_02 2011-10-23 T. R. Wyant
Have the Astro::SIMBAD::Client script_file() method post the file to
field 'scriptFile', not 'CriteriaFile', to match the current HTML
form being emulated.
Add debug output to t/yaml.t to try to track down why there are so
many test failures in script_file( 't/arcturus.yaml' ).
0.022_01 2011-10-18 T. R. Wyant
Update dependencies.
Rewrite tests to use Test::More 0.88, and update build_requires for this.
Comment tweaks to avoid a bug in Module::ExtractUse (i.e., play the
CPANTS game).
Correct t/vo.t radial velocity test.
0.022 2011-07-26 T. R. Wyant
Update the canned recession velocity of Arcturus (used for testing) to
match those retrieved from SIMBAD, which changed on or about July 25
2011.
0.021 2011-06-27 T. R. Wyant
Update the canned positions of Arcturus (used for testing) to match
those retrieved from SIMBAD, which changed on or about June 27 2011.
0.020 2011-05-22 T. R. Wyant
Update the canned positions of Arcturus to match those actually
retrieved from SIMBAD, which changed on or about May 18 2011.
0.019 2011-03-03 T. R. Wyant
Convert to Perl Foundation-recommended license.
Reorganize author tests to run on separate Build.PL tag, not a magic
environment variable.
Module::Build is no longer required for configuration since you can
use ExtUtils::MakeMaker if you wish.
0.018 2009-04-09 T. R. Wyant
Distribute developer tests, but only run if DEVELOPER_TEST is set.
Comply with Perl::Critic using profile t/perlcriticrc.
Criticize code as part of developer testing.
Drop unneeded 'use FileHandle' from Build.PL.
Have Build.PL and Makefile.PL handle -y and -n to supress prompt and
install or not install simbadc respectively.
Correct 'help client' in bin/simbadc
Update t/vo.t to track the fact that the SIMBAD4 URL query has gone
back to decimal degrees for position.
0.017 2008-11-29 T. R. Wyant
Fix test failure when YAML::Syck installed but YAML not.
0.016 2008-11-17 T. R. Wyant
Eliminate calls to UNIVERSAL::isa as a function.
Revise tests to deal more gracefully with 5xx errors.
0.015 2008-10-29 T. R. Wyant
Split Astro::SIMBAD::Client::WSQueryInterfaceService into its own file
for bookkeeping purposes.
0.014 2008-08-30 T. R. Wyant
Astro::SIMBAD::Client, Makefile.PL, Build.PL
Require Perl 5.008, because MailTools does, and SOAP::Lite requires
MailTools, and we require SOAP::Lite.
Fix TAP emitted by t::TestSimbad, so that we get useful output when
the server is unreachable or unresponsive.
0.013 2008-07-24 T. R. Wyant
Astro::SIMBAD::Client
Add =head1 LICENSE (CPANTS game)
t/canned.data
Track change in data returned by %OTYPE in SIMBAD4 1.092 21-Jul-2008
0.012 2008-02-21 T. R. Wyant
Astro::SIMBAD::Client
Add url_args attribute to provide default arguments to the url_query
method.
Add 'Astro::SIMBAD::Client' and version number to user agent string.
Add Scalar::Util as a requirement, since this is not bundled with
Perl 5.6.
Add a delay (3 seconds by default) between queries of a given
server. The 'delay' attribute controls this. Subsecond delays are
available if Time::HiRes can be loaded.
Update copyright.
bin/simbadc
Parse <filename as replacing the token with the contents of the file.
Update copyright.
0.011 2007-11-12 T. R. Wyant
Modify parse module loader to use 'eval "require $module"' rather
than generating .pm file name, to work with .pmc modules when and
if they appear.
0.010 2007-10-18 T. R. Wyant
Specify minimum Perl version of 5.006 in Build.PL and Makefile.PL.
Change url_query VOTable tests from todo back to test, since they
now work as of 18-Oct-2007.
Corrected the code used to escape URLs in the centralized requester
(use URL::Escape, not HTML::Entities).
0.009 2007-10-17 T. R. Wyant
Add 'post' attribute.
Mark url_query VOTable tests todo, since they stopped working
15-Oct-2007. Document this under 'NOTICES' in the code.
Clean up the POD tests.
Remove shebang lines where not warranted.
0.008 2007-08-30 T. R. Wyant
Add release() method, to return SIMBAD release number.
0.007 2007-03-26 T. R. Wyant
Change FORMAT_VO_BASIC to return decimal degrees for right ascension
and declination. This was always the intent, but could not be tested
until 'vo' web service queries started working.
Document change in status of web service 'vo' queries.
0.006 2007-03-20 T. R. Wyant
Use XML::DoubleEncodedEntities to deal with occasional double
encoding of VOTable data.

Explicitly load URI::Escape.
Add HTML::Entities and URI::Escape as required by this class.

Have Makefile.PL generate LICENSE tag if supported by the version of
ExtUtils::MakeMaker in use.
Make Astro::SIMBAD::Client work with SOAP::Lite 0.55, which is what
ships with ActivePerl.
0.002 2007-01-26 T. R. Wyant

Modified vo tests to follow change of VOTable coordinate format
